answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2015 answer text <p>The UK is a co-signatory to the Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform Communiqué. As that document covers, significant subsidy reform can help deliver major reform of global energy usage which limits global temperature rises.</p><p>The fall in the oil price over the last eighteen months creates a moment of opportunity for action around the world to reduce subsidies. The communiqué calls for clear communication and increased ambition. We support those goals. We will continue to lobby Governments overseas and support activity to make the most of this opportunity to implement meaningful reform. Doing so will enhance both UK and wider energy security, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, and free up funds that Governments could use to tackle other challenges.</p><br /> <br /> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 09/12/2015 15:49:26 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2015 answer text <p>The Government welcomes the report produced by the World Bank’s Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition and its aim to encourage businesses to take up carbon pricing initiatives. The UK is strongly committed to carbon pricing as a policy tool to allow carbon emissions to be reduced at least cost. The Government has encouraged businesses to recognise the cost of carbon in decision-making by pressing for reforms to strengthen the EU Emissions Trading System as well as pursuing other market-based policy approaches. We also support other countries to develop pricing models through our international outreach and projects.</p><br /> <br /> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 09/12/2015 15:48:47 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
